Ok guys, just another pic of more Fecal Stone Material passed by that poor MD today while at the Vet. I now have 3 little jars to be sent to Ian Hough the Herp Vet down at Adelaide Zoo where the MD will be going for more assessment on Monday. If it has an op, it might not be coming back to us. Not sure yet. Snakey might be going off to Cleland Wildlife Sanctuary for more specialised looking after if it has an op to get rid of the last obstruction. That is fair enough in our books if it needs special treatment and more looking after than we can give it up here. There is a sort of gelatinous substance plus some sort of fur/hair in this pic. Gelatinous substance is probably from the paraffin oil starting to work on whatever is inside its gut?? The two dark bits at the back are the furry bits. Cheers Cheryl

Hi simple, this is not our MD. It is a rescued one. It is approx 6ft long and weighs only 1.3kg. Hasn't lost anymore weight while we have been looking after it. This is probably because it has had Electrolytes tubed into it for rehydration?? Also the paraffin oil. He/she has a few battle scars on it too.

We already have the Xrays of what is inside its gut. There is still one really bad Fecal Stone obstruction in there. The Renmark/Berri vet doesn't think it is going to break down with anymore Paraffin Oil treatment. It is now too stressed, as it regurgitated Paraffin and Electrolytes today. Poor thing. This is why we are passing it on to Ian Hough on Monday via the local Fauna Rescue lady. Cheers Cheryl
